Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Rapture: Biblical Fact or Mans Tradition, author Dr. Dena Stevens considers a subject called rapture pertaining to the end-times and embraced by manyto determine if it is actually taught in the Bible, or if it is only a tradition of men. The consequences of accepting or rejecting this doctrine are of such importance to the eternal, spiritual destiny of man that it is deserving of very close examination. Stevens goes back to the account at the beginning in Genesis, examining scriptural descriptions of Gods divine plan for the world from both the Old and New Testaments, as well as His reasons for placing man on the earth in flesh bodies. She then takes an in-depth look into some of the areas that Gods people have not understood and serves to clarify some questions we have often pondered, but for which we have found no real answers. Stevens examines future prophetic events of the end-times and mans role in them in order to answer the question of her study: is the rapture a doctrine taught in the Bible, or is it only a tradition that man has devised for his own comfort and salvation?

Download or read book The Rapture Exposed written by Barbara R. Rossing and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2007-03-30 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of "The Rapture" -- the return of Christ to rescue and deliver Christians off the earth -- is an extremely popular interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation and a jumping-off point for the best-selling "Left Behind" series of books. This interpretation, based on a psychology of fear and destruction, guides the daily acts of thousands if not millions of people worldwide. In The Rapture Exposed, Barbara Rossing argues that this script for the world's future is nothing more than a disingenuous distortion of the Bible. The truth, Rossing argues, is that Revelation offers a vision of God's healing love for the world. The Rapture Exposed reclaims Christianity from fundamentalists' destructive reading of the biblical story and back into God's beloved community.
Download or read book The Rapture written by John Musser and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One day while I was attending Brookside Baptist Church in Myrtle Springs, Texas, the pastor announced that starting the following Wednesday night service, he would begin an in-depth study on the rapture. The study would be titled 16 Reasons for a Pretribulation Rapture. That statement really piqued my curiosity. Having had studied the subject for an extended period of time over the years, I was amazed that someone could come up with that many reasons, so I joined the study the following Wednesday. After having received the handouts that evening, I began to take a critical look. I began to point out the errors in much of the reasoning behind the conclusions of that pastor. When the pages became numerous, I decided it was sufficient to be turned into a book. I felt this study should be examined by every believer. Many talk about salvation issues in Christianity. Many say the rapture is not one of them. That attitude alarms me. While ones belief on the rapture will not affect his salvation in itself, it will, without a doubt, become a stumbling block to being prepared to not receive the mark of the beast. Of that mark, the Bible says the one who receives that mark will have his fate sealed with the judgment of eternal damnation. If one is confident in a pretribulation rapture, he will be susceptible to dismissing the actual mark of the beast since he is convinced he will be taken out before that implementation. And for this cause, this book must be read!
Download or read book Secret Rapture An Anti Biblical Assumption written by Suresh Malayil and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ himself warns us to not to believe a secret rapture. Rapture will happen only after Israel becomes a Christian nation. Two olive trees and two lampstands, representatives of the church during tribulation. The church knows the times of his coming back. It’s not anti-Christ being withheld. Noah and Lot’s days, an evidence for public coming. The Day of the Lord will come as a thief even after the so-called secret rapture. Resurrection of the people of God and the end of the world will happen on the same day. The Second Advent accompanied by loud command, the voice, and the trumpet of God, and resurrection occurs at the same moment is a solid prove for the public coming. For the church, rapture day is not an immediate surprising day. Meaning of nobody knows the day or the hour. Meaning of the idiom of carcass and the vultures. The Day of the Lord is the day Paul awaits for the crown of righteousness. An immediate cosmic change occurs at the rapture. Rapture will be a visual event. Rapture will happen on the last day of human history. The second raw resurrection happens at the end of the tribulation. Our gathering unto him in the air will happen only after the man of lawlessness appear. The wedding of the Lamb occurs after tribulation. Surprising invitees. The earth, venue for the marriage supper of the Lamb - Such truths are being discussed in this book.

Download or read book 100 Questions About The Rapture written by Zélio Cabral and published by Clube de Autores. This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this little book is to show everyone, believers and non-believers, just the truth, that is what God s Word really teaches. The author raises 100 questions on the issue of the Rapture of the Church of the time and the end of time, it has instigated many theologians and non-theologians over the past 185 years. Study what the Bible says about the future, gives us power to overcome in love and power, during the most glorious and difficult time in history. Prepares us to actively participate in the eschatological events, under the leadership of Jesus, and correctly interpret its leadership in future global crisis, rather than offend Him (Matthew 11.6). Study the End Times awakens a sense of urgency to the intercession, knowing that our prayers can minimize evil and increase victory. Understand the eschatological passages of Scripture strengthens our confidence in the sovereignty of God, knowing that He is in control of everything and is never surprised. Therefore, you reader who sticks to the pre-trib position, or you reader who does not adhere to any eschatological position of Christ s return, I invite you to read and analyze for yourself, like the Bereans were at the time of the Apostle Paul and reflect with the help of the Holy Spirit of God on the proposed themes.
Download or read book Global Dictionary of Theology written by William A. Dyrness and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2009-10-25 with total page 1026 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theological dictionaries are foundational to any theological library. But until now there has been no Global Dictionary of Theology, a theological dictionary that presumes the contribution of the Western tradition but moves beyond it to embrace and explore a full range of global expressions of theology. The Global Dictionary of Theology is inspired by the shift of the center of Christianity from the West to the Global South. But it also reflects the increase in two-way traffic between these two sectors as well as the global awareness that has permeated popular culture to an unprecedented degree. The editorial perspective of the Global Dictionary of Theology is an ecumenical evangelicalism that is receptive to discovering new facets of truth through listening and conversation on a global scale. Thus a distinctive feature of the Global Dictionary of Theology is its conversational approach. Contributors have been called on to write in the spirit of engaging in a larger theological conversation in which alternative views are expected and invited. William A. Dyrness, Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, Juan F. Martinez and Simon Chan edit approximately 250 articles written by over 100 contributors representing the global spectrum of theological perspectives. Pastors, theological teachers, theological students and lay Christian leaders will all find the Global Dictionary of Theology to be a resource that unfolds new dimensions and reveals new panoramas of theological perspective and inquiry. Here is a new launching point for doing theology in today's global context.

Book excerpt: Where is Jesus when we need him most? An influential pastor shares how despair can lead us to discover true hope and a deeper relationship with God, helping us emerge stronger and more joyful from times of crisis. “May this careful look at pain in the context of Jesus’s life open up avenues of discovery and healing.”—Mindy Caliguire, cofounder and president of Soul Care We all experience difficulties and hardships. But how can we learn to live richly in the midst of them? And even grow spiritually because of them? The answer is found in the hopeful humanity of Jesus. As the Son of God, Jesus wasn’t exempt from suffering, disappointment, or injustice. He lived in the real world as a real person. He wept for those he loved. He felt hunger and thirst. He endured temptation, betrayal, and ridicule. He died after being unjustly tortured. And somehow through it all, he embodied hope—by defeating death and opening a new world of life for us. In Echoing Hope, influential pastor and blogger Kurt Willems reveals how understanding the humanity of Jesus can radically transform our identity and empower us to step into our pain-filled world in a new way. Combining rich theological insight with personal stories and practices for response, he shows how we can overcome despair and encounter the beautiful potential of our lives.
